A very big Pooh

M shrieked with delight and threw herself at this gigantic plush Winnie the Pooh at the Disney store. I can't remember exactly how much the price tag said it was but I do remember thinking who would buy a stuff toy for over USD500!

By the way, the Disney merchandise stores in Tokyo ring up the highest revenues and profits amongst the Disney stores around the world, including those in California and Florida. It's a very Japanese culture to buy souveniors for themselves and everyone they leave at home when they go for vacations... that's probably why. That and also the fact that they are suckers for Disney characters. When grown Japanese women scream with delight in Disneyland, you would think they had just seen Brad Pitt or someone equally good-looking, but no, it's that famous mouse character walking around the park.
